Assessment of the relationship between genotypic status of a DT-diaphorase point mutation and enzymatic activity.

Abstract excerpt

DT-diaphorase, a cytosolic reductase, has been implicated as an activator of chemotherapeutic prodrugs and a detoxifier of certain potentially carcinogenic xenobiotics. A common C to T nucleotide 609 substitution in DT-diaphorase cDNA has been associated with protein instability and reduced catalytic activity. The degree to which the allelic status of the substitution correlates with enzymatic activity was...
